1.13 Funcon ‘Trigger Sense’
The trigger level is automacally congured when selecng a sensor
from the ‘Sensor / Conguraon’ (‘SnSr’ / ‘Auto’) menu list. The trigger level can be also manually modied from the ‘SnSr’ / ‘TrIG’ menu
entry. The selected value applies to channels ‘A’ and ‘B’ (the reset has
a xed trigger level at 2.5 Vdc).
At the ‘SnSr’ / ‘TrIG’ menu, the instrument shows the trigger level
and two vercal leds to the le. These leds inform in real me about
the status (‘0’ or ‘1’) of the input channels ‘A’ and ‘B’. When the led
switches between up and down posion, it indicates that impulses
are being detected at the input. If the instrument does not detect
impulses, the led posions remain xed.
Increase the trigger level pressing key ‘UP’ (5) and decrease pressing key ‘LE’ (3).

The counter modes allow to acvate a reset funcon (to ‘0’ or to

preset value up to the alarm setpoint. Each cycle is counted and accumulated into an internal memory, accessible through the ‘fast access’ menu (key UP (5) (see secon 1.19.12)).
To reset the memory of cycles, visualize the value at the ‘uP’ menu,
then press the (5) key and the ‘rSt’ message appears. Press (<) to

Special working mode for applicaons with low frequency signals.
Applies to ratemeter (‘rt.6’), ratemeter quadrature (‘rtq.7’) and periodmeter (‘Prd.8’). The ‘SLOW’ mode allows to measure slow frequencies down to 1 mHz (0,001 Hz) and is funconal up to 200 Hz.
The ‘SLOW’ mode provides the fastest response me possible for a
given applicaon, calculang the frequency and the period based on
the me between consecuve impulses.
The ‘SLOW’ mode needs to dene the parameter ‘maximum waing me’ to a value between 1 and 1000 seconds. If this me expires
without a single impulse being received, the reading jumps to ‘0’
(both for ratemeter and periodmeter modes). The ‘GATE’ parameter
is not used if ‘SLOW’ mode is acve.
In ‘ratemeter quadrature’ (‘rtq.7’) mode, the acvaon of the ‘SLOW’ mode calculates the frequency based on the me between
consecuve impulses received on channel A, and calculates the
sense of turn (clockwise or counter-clockwise) by comparing each
impulse with the state of channel B. The ‘edge’ parameter is xed to
a ‘1--1’. Typical applicaon for quadrature frequency measure with
two inducve sensors at low frequency.
1.16 ‘FAST’ mode
Time
Special working mode for counter applicaons with high frequency
signals, up to 250 KHz. Applies only to the counter mode (‘cn.1’).
The acvaon of the ‘FAST’ mode congures the signal detecon by
rising edge. The rst edge detected, either rising or falling edge, aer
the instrument restart (power-up, or conguraon change) is used
for internal inializaon and will not be counted as impulse.

1.17 How to operate the menus
Instruction Manual
The instrument has two menus accessible to the user :
‘Conguraon menu’ (key SQ) (<)
‘Fast access’ menu (key UP) (5)
Conguraon menu
The ‘conguraon menu’ modies the conguraon parameters to
adapt the instrument to the applicaon needs. To access the ‘conguraon menu’ press for 1 second the SQ (<) key. This access can
be blocked by acvang the ‘Password’ (‘PASS’) funcon. While
operang the ‘conguraon menu’, the alarm status is ‘hold’ to the
status they had before accessing the menu, and the output and control modules remain in ‘error’ state. When leaving the ‘conguraon menu’, the instrument applies a system reset, followed by a brief
disconnecon of the alarms and the output and control modules.
Funconality is then recovered.
For a detailed explanaon on the ‘conguraon menu’ see secon
1.19, and for a full view of the ‘conguraon menu’ structure see
secon 1.20.
‘Fast access’ menu
The ‘fast access’ menu is an operator congurable menu, providing
fast and direct access to the most usual funcons of the instrument
with a single key pad stroke. Press key UP (5) to access this menu.
See secon 1.19.12 for a list of funcons eligible for ‘fast access’ in
this instrument. The ‘Password’ (‘PASS’) funcon does not block access to this menu. Accessing and modifying parameters in the ‘fast access’ menu does not interfere with the normal funconality of the
instrument, and it does not generate any system reset when validating the changes.
Example of operaon inside the
‘conguraon menu’.
1. The SQ (<) key enters into the

1.19.11 Alarms
The ‘Alarms’ (‘ALr’) menu congures the independent acvaon of
up to 3 relay outputs (or transistor or SSR drive control), installed
with the R1 oponal modules (or T1 or SSR) (see secon 2.1). For
outputs up to 4 and 6 relays, see special modules R2, R4 and R6 at
secon 2.6. The alarm states are indicated in the front display with
leds marked as ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘3’.
To congure an alarm, enter into the alarm menu (‘ALr1’, ‘ALr2’ or ‘ALr3’) and congure the following parameters :
• select ‘Acve’ (‘Act’) to ‘on’
• at ‘Alarm type’ (‘TypE’) select the alarm to act as a maximum type
alarm (‘MAX’) or a minimum type alarm (‘MIn’). The maximum type
alarm (or minimum type alarm) acvates when the display value is
higher (or lower) than the setpoint value.
• at ‘Setpoint’ (‘SEt’) enter the value for the alarm acvaon point.
This parameter is eligible for conguraon through the ‘Fast access’
menu (see secon 1.19.12).
• congure the hysteresis value at ‘Hysteresis’ (‘hySt’). The hysteresis applies to the deacvaon process of the alarm. The alarm deacvates when the reading has passed the setpoint value plus the
hysteresis value. Hysteresis helps to avoid repeve switching of the
alarm relays, due to uctuang input signals around the setpoint.
• at ‘Acvaon delay’ (‘dEL.0’) congure the delay to apply before
alarm acvaon. The acvaon delay starts counng when the setpoint value is passed. Value from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.
• at ‘Deacvaon delay’ (‘dEL.1’) congure the delay to apply
before alarm deacvaon. The deacvaon delay starts counng
when the setpoint value plus the hysteresis value, is passed. Value
from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.
• to work with ‘windowed alarms’ (see graphical example below)
acvate ‘Setpoint2’ (‘SEt2’) to ‘on’ and then congure the desired
second setpoint value. Second setpoint must always be higher in
value than the rst setpoint.
• the ‘Relay inverted’ (‘r.Inv’) parameter inverts the normal relay
connecons. When set to ‘on’ the relay will be acve when alarm is
inacve. For security applicaons where an inacve relay controls
the shutdown of the system.
• the ‘Locked alarm’ (‘A.Lck’) parameter disables the automac
deacvaon of the alarm. Alarm deacvaon must be performed
manually, by pressing the ‘LE’ front buon (see secon 1.19.14)
• the ‘On alarm’ (‘on.AL’) parameter assigns a predened behaviour when alarm is acvated. Select ‘cont’ to connue counng.
Select ‘to_0’ to load ‘0’ on displays. Select ‘to_p’ to load preset
value on display. Parameter ‘dEL.1’ is set to 1 second when ‘to_0’ or ‘to_p’ are selected.

The Modbus RTU protocol denes the following scenarios when a
‘Master’ is sending a frame to a ‘Slave’:
• the ‘Slave’ device receives the frame correctly and replies with the
requested data
• the ‘Slave’ devices detects a CRC error, parity error, or other. and
discards the frame without generang a reply frame. The ‘Master’
will detect a ‘TIMEOUT’ condion due to the absence of reply.
• the ‘Slave’ device receives the frame correctly, but replies with an
‘EXCEPTION_CODE’ as it can not process the funcon or register requested.

the display value data frame. The local module address is ‘0’. Congure at menu ‘Conguraon Master’ (‘cnF.M’) the ‘Desnaon ad-dress’ (‘d.Add’) parameter from ‘1’ to ‘31’ or use value ‘128’ for a
broadcast message. At parameter ‘Frequency’ (‘FrEq’) select the how
oen the frame with the reading value will be transmied.
Special tools are grouped inside the ‘Tools’ (‘TooL’) menu.
• the ‘Decimal point’ (‘dP’) menu is provided for compability with
ancient hardware that does not support decimal point retransmission. By default, select ‘Automac’ (‘Auto’). If your instrument
does nos transmit the decimal point posion, select ‘Manual’
(‘MAnL’) and x the posion of the decimal point manually.
•the ‘Legacy mode’ (‘LEG’) parameter is provided to maintain
compability with instruments with older communicaon protocols. Select ‘on’ to acvate this mode.
• the ‘Answer delay’ (‘AnS.d’) parameter applies only to ‘Slave’
mode. The local module delays the answer frame. Congure for
applicaons where the ‘Master’ needs addional me to switch
between ‘transmit’ and ‘receive’ modes. Enter a numeric value between ‘0’ and ‘1000’ mSeconds.
• at the ‘Factory reset’ (‘FAct’) menu, select ‘yes’ to load the default factory conguraon for the instrument.
the ‘Version’ (‘VEr’) menu informs of the current rmware version
installed in the module.

2.4.4 Frame types
Instruction Manual
The ASCII protocol denes the following frames:
• Frame ‘read’ (‘RD’). Id code 36. Request data frame. The requested
register is indicated into the ‘REG’ byte (‘Header’ secon).
• Frame ‘answer’ (‘ANS’). Id code 37. Response frame to a request
data frame. The requested register is indicated into the ‘REG’ byte’
(‘Header’ secon). Data of the requested register is indicated into
data bytes ‘D0’ to ‘Dn’ (‘Data’ secon).
• Frame ‘error’ (‘ERR’). Id code 38. Response frame to a request data
frame. Indicates that an error has occurred. Error code is codied
into the ‘REG’ byte (‘Header’ secon).
• Frame ‘ping’ (‘PING’). Id code 32. Used to conrm the existence of
the remote instrument.
• Frame ‘pong’ (‘PONG’). Id code 33. Response to a ‘ping’ frame. It
conrms the existence of the remote instrument.

2.4.8 CRC calculaon
The ‘frame value’ for the CRC byte is calculated applying a XOR funcon to the ‘frame value’ (see secon 2.4.5) of all bytes in secons
‘Header’ and ‘Data’, from byte ‘0’ (‘STX’) to the last data byte (‘Dn’).
• if the calculated CRC value is lower than ‘32’, it is normalized by applying the ‘one’s complement’ funcon .
CRC0=STX ^ ID ^ RSV ^ FROM ^ TO ^ REG ^ RSV ^ LONG ^ D0 ^...^ Dn
• if (CRC0<32) -> CRC=!CRC0 (one’s complement funcon)
• if (CRC0>31) -> CRC=CRC0
//example of CRC calculaon in C language
int8 Calculate_CRC(int8 CRC_Posion)
{
int8 i,CRC=0;
for(i=0;c<CRC_Posion;c++)
{
crc=crc ^ frame[i];
}
if(crc<32) CRC=~CRC;
return(CRC);
}

2.5 Module S2
Module S2 provides 1 RS-232 ASCII communicaons port, to install in
DPF20 digital panel meters. Protocol specicaons are the same as with
module S4 (see secon 2.4), with only dierence that the physical bus is
RS-232 instead of RS-485.
S2 modules allow for point-to-point communicaon over RS-232 and also
allow for mulnode communicaon over RS-232 using a ‘Daisy-Chain’ type
of connecon.
Terminals RX1 and TX1 are for connecon to the RS-232 bus. Terminals
RX2 and TX2 are for RS-232 mulnode connecon. Frames received on
RX1 with desnaon address dierent than the local instrument’s address, will be retransmied over the TX2 terminal. In a similar way, frames
received from RX2 with desnaon address other than the local address,
will be retransmied over TX1 terminal.
Up to a maximum of 3 S4 modules can be installed in a single instrument,
all modules isolated between them and isolated from all other circuits.
Modules S2 can be ordered pre-installed into a DPF20 digital panel meter,
or standalone for delayed installaon, as they do not require soldering or
special conguraon.

2.6 Modules R2, R4 and R6
Modules R2, R4 and R6 provide 2, 4 and 6 relay outputs, to install in
DPF20 digital panel meters.
Conguraon is performed from the frontal keypad of the meter, by
seng the parameters at the ‘Opt.1’ conguraon menu (not from
the alarm conguraon menu (‘ALr.1’, ‘ALr.2’ o ‘ALr.3’) of the instrument).
The menu allows to congure the setpoint, hysteresis, independent
acvaon and deacvaon delays, and a second setpoint to create
alarm windows.
Only 1 modules R2, R4 or R6 can be installed in a single instrument,
as the are not compable with themselves (2 modules R2 are not accepted) and are not compable with modules R1, T1 or SSR.
Modules R2, R4 and R6 are isolated against all other instrument circuits.
Modules R2, R4 and R6 can be ordered pre-installed into a DPF20
digital panel meter, or standalone for delayed installaon, as they do
not require soldering or special conguraon.

• select ‘Acve’ (‘Act’) to ‘on’
• at ‘Alarm type’ (‘TypE’) select the maximum alarm (‘MAX’) or
minimum alarm (‘MIn’). The maximum alarm (or type alarm) acvates when display value is higher (or lower) than the setpoint
value.
• at ‘Setpoint’ (‘SEt’) enter the alarm acvaon value.
• congure the hysteresis value at ‘Hysteresis’ (‘hySt’). The hysteresis applies to the deacvaon process of the alarm. The alarm deacvates when the reading has passed the setpoint value plus the
hysteresis value.
• at ‘Delay 0’ (‘dEL.0’) assign the delay to be applied before alarm
acvaon. The acvaon delay starts counng when the setpoint
value is passed. Congurable from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.
• at ‘Delay 1’ (‘dEL.1’) assign the delay to be applied before alarm
deacvaon. The deacvaon delay starts counng when the setpoint value plus the hysteresis value, is passed. Congurable from
0.0 to 99.9 seconds.
• to acvate the second setpoint, acvate ‘Setpoint2’ (‘SEt2’) to
‘on’ and then congure the desired setpoint value. Second setpoint
allows for windowed alarms. The rst setpoint acvates the alarm,
and the second setpoint deacvates the alarm (conguraon for
‘Alarm as maximum’ type of alarm). Second setpoint must always
be higher in value than the rst setpoint.
Locate the 4 clips (A B C D). Clips are covered by the front lter.
Clips can be seen when looking from the rear of the instrument, just below the front lter.
